To me it looks like some lack of flexibility that's pulling one of your legs out of alignment or something. It could be weakness too, but you should feel that yourself.

Any idea what's your bodyfat right now? I know I've asked in the past but are you still dropping down on the bodyfat %?

How did the 32 kg KB swings felt like?

What are you doing about your bodyfat issue? All asians pretty much have it, they naturally carry a higher bodyfat % (hence the "yellow skin") so you need to take additional nutritional considerations in order to improve it. Hey Bruce Lee, don't be mad at me bro.

Program Review / Re: Gravityplus Suit

Um let's just say it was a ... passionate discussion. There's this guy that's marketing the thing that's debating that traditional strength training methods suck and his suit is the end all be all of training. So, you know.

By the way, the suit looks pretty neat, he says the weight is evenly distributed and can be loaded up to 70 lbs.

But then again, for 600$ you can do other stuff.

Program Review / Gravityplus Suit

Anybody heard of that? It's 600$ for a weight "suit", not vest.

Not sure if you have access to my discussion here:

Definitely. You'll have to watch out for those knees not to go forward when you do them and thus losing hamstring tension.

Yeah I use the KB swings for the same purposes... I do 2 sets of 10 reps with my 24 kg KB before squatting to get my hips firing.

I will use them for fat loss though from now on, doing about 5 sets of 30s (with 30s rest) every day in the morning (I'm going to the gym at night).

So you're up and everybody is down? What's up with that downside?

Aaaaaaaaanyway... is a second hand on the wrist of the working hand allowed? 'coz I can do a handful of these already :P

Wow, such a big squat yet such a low RDL number... and how you're doing only 6x2 KB swings? I usually do sets of 20 or so with a 53 lbs KB.

If you're using the BSS to fix imbalances, do your weak leg first and limit the volume of the strong leg to that of the weak one (if you do 4 reps with the weak leg, do 4 reps with the strong leg).

You could also do light weight, big volume partial squats. Think 20 rep sets 1/2-1/4 squats for VMO development. That's what I do (I use the leg press though) after your main (BSS in this case) exercise which is already pretty glute dominant the way you do it. If you use lightweight in the partial squat then your bilateral imbalance shouldn't be so obvious since you're not going extremely heavy where one part (one leg) will really push and the other will really slack.
